Artwork Description
The Great Birth: 13 Kandas is inspired by traditional Pha Phawet cloths and their images from the Vessantara Jataka, or Maha Chat. The work follows the story through its traditional division into 13 sections, or kandas.
The long vertical format echoes the narrative flow of traditional Pha Phawet cloths and the 13-part structure of the Vessantara Jataka.
